Spanish School (c.1890) - The Revelry Guild

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas. Inscription "Lo pintó Olaria". - Born from the deepest, darkest entrails of Black Spain and direct heir to Goya’s Black Paintings and the crudest of the carnival-ish farces, this character embodies the grotesque reverse of the enlightened reason. Behind the mask of a Madrid carnival that has mutated into a coven, the lumpen rises here as a tavern cynic philosopher: a modern Diogenes who, instead of living in a barrel, claims his existential misery by demanding soup on the dull patch of his tambourine. His sardonic laugh and the grotesque spoon on the skull disarticulate any metaphysical pretensions, reminding us of Nietzsche’s thesis that the world can only be justified as an aesthetic phenomenon, even if through the toothless grimace of poverty and carnival farce. - Image dimensions without frame: 63 x 75 cm / 81 x 93 cm with exclusive custom frame. In Montbaron Gallery, we are pleased to offer our clients an exclusive selection of artworks, all of them unique, original and unrepeatable. Each piece in our gallery is the result of deep dedication, a creative vision, and masterful technique, traits that guarantee its authenticity.

Thus, we guarantee that every piece that leaves our gallery is a unique item in the world, with no replicas, and a testament to the innovation and passion of the artists we work with. Certain lots, due to their age and value, require an export permit issued by the Ministry of Culture. Although this is an administrative procedure, it is essential to ensure the authenticity of the work and its free circulation internationally. Montbaron Gallery commits to offering its clients original, unique and irreproducible artworks, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of each piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and trust in every purchase, we offer a digital Certificate of Guarantee, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate certifies that the acquired work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify authorship, origin, and condition. The Digital Certificate of Guarantee includes complete details about the piece, such as author, creation date, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Certificate of Guarantee will be issued upon the client’s request, providing an official reference for the acquired piece. This document will be sent in digital format and signed by an art historian from our gallery, ensuring its validity and backing. We are committed to our customers’ satisfaction and trust, so any doubt about the authenticity or condition of the work will be addressed professionally and diligently. To request your Certificate of Guarantee, please contact us through our usual channels. As art logistics experts, at Montbaron Gallery we are committed to ensuring that each piece reaches its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To this end, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transport, who guarantee maximum care throughout the entire process. It is important to note that the shipping cost prices indicated in the listing are indicative and subject to changes depending on various circumstances. These include fluctuations in transport market rates, changes in delivery location, the size and weight of the work, and possible extraordinary circumstances, such as fuel cost fluctuations or adjustments in customs and import tariffs. The final shipping cost will be calculated precisely based on these factors, and the client will always be informed in advance before proceeding with shipment. Our goal is to offer the best possible service, adapting to each client’s needs and ensuring the artwork arrives quickly and safely, with no surprises. The frame shown in the previous images has been added to the work by a third party or by the seller, and therefore is not an integral part of the object. This frame is provided to you at no additional cost so that, when the work arrives at your home, it can be exhibited immediately on your wall. Consequently, no damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the work will be accepted as valid grounds for filing a claim or requesting a cancellation.
